u003cspan style=u0022color: #0060A9;u0022u003eIn order to personalize the Calm Health experience, we ask all Calm Health users to fill out a quick survey about your thoughts and feelings over the last two weeks. These questions use the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and General Anxiety Disorder screening (GAD-7), which are effective, clinically valid, and industry standard screenings for mental health.u003c/spanu003e

u003cspan style=u0022color: #0060A9;u0022u003eThe Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) are both widely used screening tools in the field of mental health. They are designed to assess the severity of symptoms related to depression and generalized anxiety disorder, respectively.rnrnThe PHQ-9 is a self-reporting questionnaire consisting of nine questions that measure the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. It covers various aspects of depression, including feelings of sadness, loss of interest, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Each question is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms.rnrnOn the other hand, the GAD-7 is a self-reporting questionnaire that assesses the severity of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. It consists of seven questions that cover symptoms such as excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty controlling worry, and physical symptoms associated with anxiety. Similar to the PHQ-9, each question on the GAD-7 is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms. Learn more about the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 from NCBI.rnrnIt’s important to note that while these screening tools can be helpful in identifying potential mental health concerns, they are not diagnostic tools on their own. A comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan based on individual needs.u003c/spanu003e
